Juel 2
1 Fụọ opi ịdọ aka na ntị na Zayọn. Ka a nụ ụda opi ịdọ aka na ntị site nʼelu ugwu nsọ m. Ka ndị niile bi nʼala ahụ maa jijiji, nʼihi na ụbọchị ikpe nke Onyenwe anyị na-abịa, ọ na-abịaru nso.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is at hand;
2 Ọ bụ ụbọchị ọchịchịrị na nke mgbarụ ihu. Ọ bụ ụbọchị itiri ojii nke oke ọchịchịrị. Usuu ndị agha dị ike nke ga-ekpuchi elu ugwu niile dịka chi ọbụbọ. Ha hiri nne, nweekwa ike dị ukwuu. Ahụbeghị ụdị dịka ha na mbụ, a gaghị ahụkwa ụdị ha ọzọ ruo ọgbọ niile nke na-abịa.
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; — a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.
3 Ọkụ na-ere na-aga ha nʼihu, ire ọkụ na-enwu oke onwunwu dị ha nʼazụ. Tupu ha abịaruo, ala ahụ na-ama mma dịka ogige nke Iden, ma nʼazụ ha, ala ubi niile dịka ọzara nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu, o nweghị ihe ga-agbanarị ịla nʼiyi ha.
A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.
4 Nʼile anya, ha dịka ịnyịnya, ha na-ekwogharị dịka ịnyịnya agha.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.
5 Ha ji ụzụ dịka ụzụ ụgbọala na-arịgo elu ugwu. Ụzụ ha dịkwa ka ụzụ ọkụ nke na-erepịa ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ. Ha dịkwa ka ụzụ nke usuu ndị agha dị ike, ndị na-aga ịlụ agha.
Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Egwu na-ejide ndị niile ha chere ihu. Ihu ha na-agbarụkwa.
Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale.
7 Ha na-ekwogharị dịka ndị agha; ha na-arịgo mgbidi dịka ezi ndị agha. Ha na-aga nʼahịrị nʼahịrị, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla nʼije ha.
They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.
8 Ọ dịghị onye na-anọchiri ibe ya ụzọ. Onye ọbụla na-aga nʼihu nʼahịrị nʼahịrị. Ọ dịghị ngwa agha ọbụla pụrụ ịkwụsị ha, ka ha na-aga nʼahịrị nʼahịrị.
Neither doth one press upon another; they march every one in his path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded.
9 Ha na-enukwasị obodo, na-agbagharị nʼelu mgbidi, na-arịgo, na-abakwa nʼime ụlọ; na-abanye dịka ndị ohi site na oghereikuku niile.
They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.
10 Ala na-ama jijiji nʼihu ha, eluigwe na-emekwa mkpọtụ. Ihu anyanwụ na ihu ọnwa na-agbakwa ọchịchịrị, kpakpando adịghịkwa enye ìhè.
The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11 Olu Onyenwe anyị dara nʼihu ndị agha, ndị agha ya dị agụtaghị ọnụ, ha dịkwa ọtụtụ bụ ndị na-edebe iwu ya. Ụbọchị ikpe nke Onyenwe anyị dị ukwu bụrụkwa ihe dị egwu. Onye pụrụ ịnagide ya?
And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it?
12 “Ọ bụladị ugbu a,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “Jirinụ obi unu niile lọghachikwute m. Werekwanụ obubu ọnụ, na ịkwa akwa, na iru ụjụ, lọghachikwutenụ m.”
Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning;
13 Dọwakwaanụ obi unu, ọ bụghị uwe unu. Lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye na-eme amara, na onye obi ebere. Ọ bụ onye na-adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ. O jupụtara nʼịhụnanya. Ọ naghị eme ọsịịsọ nʼinye ntaramahụhụ.
and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Onye maara? Ma eleghị anya ọ ga-alọghachite azụ tụgharịa obi ya, hapụrụ anyị ngọzị ya, kwe ka eweta onyinye mkpụrụ ubi na onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ maka Onyenwe anyị bụ, Chineke unu.
Who knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?
15 Fụọ opi ike nʼime Zayọn. Kpọsaa obubu ọnụ dị nsọ. Kpọkọta nzukọ dị nsọ.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;
16 Chịkọtaa onye ọbụla, doo nzukọ ahụ nsọ, ma ndị okenye, ma ụmụntakịrị, ma ụmụ na-aṅụ ara. Kpọpụta nwoke lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ site nʼụlọ ya, ya na nwaagbọghọ lụrụ dị ọhụrụ site nʼebe nzuzo ya.
gather the people, hallow the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride from her closet.
17 Ka ndị nchụaja, bụ ndị na-ejere Onyenwe anyị ozi, nọọ nʼetiti ebe ịchụ aja, na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ kwaa akwa. Ha kpeekwa ekpere sị, “Zọpụta ndị gị, Onyenwe anyị. Ekwela ka ihe nketa gị bụrụ ihe ịta ụta, nʼetiti mba dị iche iche. Ekwela ka ha sị, ‘Olee ebe Chineke ha nọ?’”
Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, thy people, and give not thine inheritance to reproach, that they should be a byword of the nations. Wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
18 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kworo ekworo nʼihi ala ya, nwee ọmịiko nʼebe ndị ya nọ.
Then Jehovah will be jealous for his land, and will have pity on his people.
19 Onyenwe anyị zaghachiri ha sị, “Ana m ezitere unu ọka na mmanya ọhụrụ, na mmanụ, nke ga-ezuru unu, jukwa unu afọ. Agaghị m emekwa ka unu bụrụ ihe ịkwa emo nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
And Jehovah will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I send you corn, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
20 “Aga m ewezuga ndị agha ahụ si nʼugwu, zipụ ha nʼebe tere anya, m ga-achụba ha nʼala kpọrọ nkụ, na ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ndị nọ nʼihu ga-erugbu nʼosimiri Nnu dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ; ndị nọ nʼazụ ka m ga-erugbu nʼosimiri Mediterenịa dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Isisi ọjọọ ya ga-esipụta, isisi nke ure ya ga-arịgokwa.” Nʼezie, ọ meela ihe ndị dị ukwuu dị iche iche.
And I will remove far off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things.
21 Atụkwala egwu, gị ala Juda, kama ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ, nʼezie, Onyenwe anyị arụọla ọrụ dị ịtụnanya.
— Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for Jehovah doeth great things.
22 Atụla egwu, unu anụ ọhịa niile, nʼihi na ebe ịta nri unu ga-ejupụtakwa nʼahịhịa ndụ. Osisi na-amị mkpụrụ ha, osisi fiig, na osisi vaịnị na-amịkwa mkpụrụ nʼuju.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring; for the tree beareth its fruit; the fig-tree and the vine yield full increase.
23 Ụmụ Zayọn, ka obi tọọ unu ụtọ, ṅụrịanụ ọṅụ nʼime ịdị mma Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke unu. Nʼihi na o nyela unu mmiri ozuzo mbụ nke ọkọchị, nʼihi ịdị mma ya. Ọ na-ezite ọtụtụ mmiri ozuzo, nke ọkọchị, na nke udu mmiri, dịka ọ dị na mbụ.
And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning [of the season].
24 Ebe ịzọcha ọka gị niile ga-ejupụtakwa na mkpụrụ ọka, ebe ịnara mmanya gị niile ga-ejubiga oke na mmanya na mmanụ ọhụrụ.
And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
25 “Aga m enyeghachi afọ niile nke igurube riri, ndị ahụ nke igurube ukwu na igurube nta, na ụkpana, na ndị mbibi ọzọ riri, bụ usuu ndị agha ahụ m zitere nʼetiti unu.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 Unu ga-eri ka unu siri chọọ, rijuchaa afọ, unu ga-etokwa Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye rụrụ ọrụ ebube ndị a nʼihi unu. Ọ dịkwaghị mgbe ọzọ ihere ga-eme ndị m.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 Mgbe ahụ unu ga-amata na m nọ nʼebe a nʼetiti ndị m Izrel. Unu ga-amatakwa na naanị m bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, na ọ dịkwaghị onye ọzọ. Ihere agaghị emekwa ndị m ọzọ.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, and there is none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 “Ma emesịa, aga m awụkwasị mmadụ niile Mmụọ m. Ụmụ unu ndị ikom, na ụmụ unu ndị inyom ga-ebu amụma. Ndị okenye nwoke unu ga-arọ nrọ. Ụmụ okorobịa unu ga-ahụkwa ọhụ.
And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
29 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, aga m awụsa mmụọ m ọbụladị nʼahụ ndị ohu m ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị.
Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
30 Aga m egosi ihe ebube dị iche iche na mbara eluigwe, na nʼelu ụwa; a ga-ahụ ọbara, na ire ọkụ, na ogidi anwụrụ ọkụ.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Anyanwụ ga-agbanwe ghọọ ọchịchịrị, ọnwa ga-aghọkwa ọbara, tupu ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị abịa, bụ ụbọchị ahụ dị ukwu dịkwa oke egwu.
The sun shall be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come.
32 Ọ ga-erukwa na onye ọbụla nke na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị ka a ga-azọpụta. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼelu ugwu Zayọn, na nʼime Jerusalem ka mgbapụta ga-adị, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru ya. Mgbapụta a ga-adịkwara ndị fọdụrụ ndụ, bụ ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị na-akpọ.
And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah hath said, and for the residue whom Jehovah shall call.
